The Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII CECEII| They sing the race the song is wildly sweet | A |
| But thou my harp oh thou shalt sing the goal | B |
| The distant goal that draws the bleeding feet | A |
| And lights the brow and lifts the fainting soul | B |
| And yet I know not Is the goal the place | C |
| I dream it is the while I run the race | C |
| - | |
| They sing the fight the list'ners come in bands | D |
| But tune thy chords my harp to sing the prize | E |
| That noble prize for which the fighter stands | D |
| And bids his body strain and agonize | E |
| Yet if I knew O is the prize so bright | F |
| As I have thought it all this bitter fight | F |
| - | |
| They sing the work the song makes labor fair | G |
| But thou my harp shalt sing the labor's aim | H |
| The gleaming light the beauty throned there | G |
| That calls the worker onward more than fame | H |
| But oh I pray the aim be what I sought | I |
| And visioned ceaselessly the while I wrought | I |
| - | |
| Yet hear me not Watcher of the race | C |
| Forgive me thou Giver of the prize | E |
| It is enough the hope before my face | C |
| It is enough the dream before mine eyes | E |
| And this I dare to think thou hast not wrought | I |
| Or dream or ardent dreamer all for nought | I |
